Core capabilities

Engineered for education workflows

CardOffice removes the traditional headaches of student identification cards: lost photos, queue bottlenecks, hardware failures and mismatched database records.

ICAO photo pre-screening

Students snap a photo on their phone. CardOffice automatically checks eye alignment, framing, lighting and neutral backgrounds, saving hours of manual cropping and rejection emails.

Apple & Google Wallet passes

Deliver digital student ID passes straight to phone wallets. Includes live QR verification, library barcode and student discount proof without printing extra plastic.

Campus door access encoding

Encode student access permissions to hostels, laboratories, computer suites and after-hours library areas in a single pass through desktop card printers.

Questions

Frequently asked questions for education administrators

How does CardOffice handle high-volume enrolment weeks?

CardOffice synchronises with your Student Management System to batch-generate print queues and over-the-air digital passes. Remote photo collection runs weeks ahead of time, allowing card offices to pre-print thousands of cards before orientation week begins.

Can students use Apple Wallet or Google Wallet instead of plastic cards?

Yes. Students can install an official digital student ID directly to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet from an email or portal link. Digital passes update dynamically and can be revoked instantly upon course withdrawal.

Can we encode door access and library barcodes on the same card?

Yes. Print jobs can print student barcodes and encode contactless smart chips (such as MIFARE or DESFire) simultaneously, connecting directly to campus access control, printing credits and library systems.

Can secondary schools avoid running traditional photo days?

Yes. Students and parents receive a secure upload link to take a portrait on their phone. CardOffice automatically screens images against ICAO standards for lighting, focus and plain backgrounds before approval.
